Chapter 3448: Opening of the All Souls Festival

"Good morning, Silvia, are you here to maintain the teleportation gate?"

Xia De walked along the steps to her, kissed her lips lightly, and the young black-haired girl smiled:

"Yes, other teleportation gates are very stable, but this one that was just built still needs maintenance. However, I have to admit that Cassandra really taught a very good apprentice, and Miss Swift helped a lot."

She also kissed Xia De:

"I heard that there will be a very grand bonfire party at the pier of Kyle-Todd Town tonight."

Xia De naturally understood what she meant:

"Yes, so we have to be prepared to dance. However, this is not a formal ball, so there is no need to prepare clothes specially. I think casual clothes will do—then Miss Emma Silvia, would you like to dance with me tonight?"

"Of course."

Miss Swift and the other followers sent by Cassandra currently live in that ice and snow castle. Silvia was not very willing to let them stay overnight in her high tower, as she thought this place belonged to her and Xia De.

But fortunately, although the castle looked very cold, in fact, through the control of the maid Winnie, the accommodation conditions there should be better than the best hotel in the city.

When Xia De went to the castle through the teleportation gate, he also chatted with the girls, and did not forget to send the clothes that Cassandra asked him to bring:

"The island is celebrating the festival now, you can also go to the town to stroll around, Claire can arrange for people to receive you."

But at least during the day, they still had to stare at the teleportation gate that had just been built, so Xia De went to the town at the foot of the mountain alone.

He hadn't come for a day, and Kyle-Todd Town seemed to have completely changed its appearance. Every household's door and eaves were hung with holly decorations, ribbons and colorful flags were flying above the town, and there were many more signposts in the town's streets.

Most of the townspeople had changed into traditional Fatu costumes, everyone had a happy face, and even the flow of people in the town today was greater than any day Xia De had seen. The townspeople along the street were setting up stalls to sell local souvenirs or handicrafts, and tourists from the Lagson Principality were happy to pick some interesting things to enrich their luggage.

The income from winter hunting and fishing would be greatly reduced, and the All Souls Festival was also the main income source for the townspeople in winter.

Xia De did not spend time strolling in the town, but passed through the crowded crowd and went directly to the snowy mountain hall.

The good news was that even during the All Souls Festival, the snowy mountain hall was still not open to outsiders. But today's snowy mountain hall was also more lively than ever before. Young priests from various villages were preparing for the banquet on the second day of the All Souls Festival here.

Not only was the kitchen busy, but these young people, most of whom were not ring-warlocks, were also preparing a large-scale ritual with the "snowy mountain hall" as the core. Only by starting the ritual could the "warriors" of each village hold fire up the mountain.

Xia De finally found Elder Harald in the courtyard of the snowy mountain hall. At this time, he was talking with Elder Vilda and several elderly elves.

Seeing Xia De walking over, the old men greeted Xia De one after another. The elves came from the Moon Creek clan and were specifically here to investigate whether Schluch Lake could become the venue for the "Coronation Ceremony." Grandma Qishala had explained Xia De's identity to them, so these old elves, who generally had ten-ring levels, were quite polite to Xia De.

And Elder Harald and Elder Vilda also welcomed the visit of the ancient species on behalf of the Fatu people. They were very interested in the elves' proposal and had already arranged the snowy mountain inspection matters during the All Souls Festival, and both sides were very satisfied with this.

Elder Vilda took the old elves to visit the town first, leaving Xia De and Elder Harald to talk alone.

Xia De looked at the old man wearing a horn hat sideways:

"Elder, your injury..."

He was originally injured by a magic sword, and on Tuesday, he was injured in the snowy mountain to cast a spell to freeze Hermons' sea of blood. Xia De originally thought Elder Harald's injury would worsen, but looking at it at close range at this time, he seemed to have completely recovered.

The old man smiled and made a silent gesture, then took a small emerald bottle from his pocket and shook it:

"This is the high-concentration life water sent by the elves, which is their visiting gift. I mixed the life water with the wound medicine given by that potion merchant, and now it's almost better. But don't tell Claire about this first, otherwise she might not be willing to serve as the chief priest this year."

"Of course, I will keep it secret, but if she discovers it herself, it has nothing to do with me."

Xia De nodded with a smile, and Elder Harald explained again:

"However, I don't want to be lazy. I will personally take these ancient species to inspect the snowy mountain in the next few days. If the Coronation Ceremony of that Highness can really be set here, this will also be our honor... Didn't that Highness come today?"

"She played too wildly with the unicorns a few days ago, and a lot of homework was left behind. So although there are not many classes today, she has to make up her homework at school. But if she can finish the most important reports during the day, she should be able to come over to participate in the bonfire party tonight."

Encountering Hermons in the snowy mountain was two days ago, and the subsequent influence of that incident, besides letting Xia De see the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 core with his own eyes, actually involved the Divination Association.

It was precisely because of the help of the twelfth-ring diviner of the Association that day that Matilda and the others could hold on until Xia De's arrival. Of course, thinking about it afterwards, the Blood-Crier came for Xia De, and he would not easily kill before Xia De appeared.

In short, the incident on Tuesday not only let the diviners see Amelia, but also convinced them that the Fatu people were cooperating with the forces represented by the "God-Caller."

Therefore, on Wednesday when Xia De was not there, they sent representatives to the town again to negotiate with the elders, hoping to cooperate with the God-Caller and the Fatu people on the matter of the Chosen of Destiny, but those requests were blocked by the elders. They just didn't like the diviners of the Association:

"They don't think that discovering our cooperation with you is catching our handle. The Fatu people don't care about this. However, the diviners who came to negotiate this matter with us didn't worry much about your safety—why do they call you 'God-Caller'?"

Elder Harald turned his head to look at him, and Xia De winked at Claire's grandfather:

"I really only have nine rings."

"Young man, don't play this word game with me. You need to answer my question positively, not throw out a sentence that seems relevant and correct, but is not the answer."

Elder Harald said with a smile, then added:

"Your relationship with Claire..."

"Alright, I am the God-Caller."

Hearing Xia De admit it, Elder Harald was satisfied. Although he had the answer himself before asking, it was safer to hear Xia De admit it himself:

"You said before that the price of hiring you is very expensive, now I understand the reason."

The old man said half-jokingly, and Xia De reminded:

"But in fact, I didn't set a high price."

The old man wearing a horn hat was immediately a bit angry:

"Yes, you didn't set a high price, but you abducted my granddaughter."

Xia De really couldn't deny this point. He coughed slightly awkwardly and hurriedly changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, Elder Harald, do you know about the snake fang? I mean, a special way of forging snake-fang weapons."

He described the results obtained by Luweiya's divination to the elder, of course, only about the results of special snake-fang weapons, and Elder Harald actually knew it:

"That was all old things before the firearm era. Special weapons made in the way you described, even without enchantment treatment, can play a certain degree of effect in suppressing the ring-warlock's Miracle.

However, after having firearms, the role of snake-fang spears and the like is not great. But more than ten years ago, the craftsmen in the tribe used this technology to make special bullets. Isn't there a special exchange item called 'Spirit Snake Bullet' on the exchange list I gave you? This kind of bullet can make the hit target's spellcasting blocked for a short time.

However, if you want to use it on an ordinary pistol, you must tell me the bullet model before exchanging, and I will have someone order it specially."

Besides the Association, on Wednesday when Xia De was not there, Matilda had already gone to the island again with other Southern maids to investigate the traces of the Pilgrims of Fate. Although various evidence indicated that "Blood-Crier" should not appear again in a short time, for the sake of safety, Xiwei accompanied them throughout the process.

But Xiwei also had things to do in the City of Time, so the maids' travel time could only depend on Xiwei's time. And this morning, Xiwei hadn't come yet, so after talking to Elder Harald for a few more words, Xia De saw Matilda and the others upstairs in the snowy mountain hall.

As soon as Xia De entered the door, the golden-haired maid rushed over excitedly. Xia De knew she was worried about him, so he patted her back gently, and then saw other maids in the room looking at the two, so he coughed awkwardly, but did not push her away.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

The Miracle of 【Visceral Tracing】 obtained from Mr. Albert was handed over to them by Xia De. It just so happened that Xia De didn't feel at ease with them going to "wild" activities recently, so he temporarily changed their action plan:

"Today you help me find pseudo-humans first. I have already discovered two pseudo-humans in the Delarion delegation. We use their 'viscera' to trace, so we don't have to worry about Hermons when acting in the city."

Now both national delegations and representatives of many principalities are in the city. If Blood-Crier Hermons dares to take action at this time, he really wants to become a public enemy of humanity. Of course, Xia De was never the kind of generous person. He had already revealed the cooperation between the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 through various channels.

This news was a bonus when selling the "secret of the House of Pseudo-Humans," and cooperating with humanoid Relics was basically no different from committing the crime of "anti-intelligent life." The evil spirits and demons of the Third Era and the dark years of the Fourth Era had long since passed, but the people living on this land had not forgotten that period of time.

The reputation of the 【Blood Spirit School】 was completely stinking this time.
